We require activation of the following Device Administrator features:force-lock: This feature is required to force lock the device from SeekDroid.com or via Text Message.reset-password: This feature is required to reset the lock screen on the device from SeekDroid.com or via Text Message.wipe-data: This feature is required to completely erase or wipe the device from SeekDroid.com or via Text Message. This feature should only be preformed as a last method of defense for your data as when the device reboots it will be in a brand new, factory - reset, state. This means all of your data (including this app) will be erased. Don't worry though, as enabling the permission only allows the function to be "armed" so that you can preform the wipe if you need to from SeekDroid.com.

SeekDroid is a service that allows you to track and secure your device from anywhere.

After initial configuration you will be able to use SeekDroid at SeekDroid.com from any internet connected device.

My review

Review from Andra Clark

When it works, it is awesome. When you have problems, you might as well give up. SeekDroid does not respond to individual emails nor do they provide a phone number. I have a billing issue and I can't get it straightened out no matter how many links to help articles their automated system points me towards. I am being charged for the service but can't use it since it says I am over quota (3 devices on a 5 device plan).

Years ago this was a good program. Since their web update and going to a subscription model the program has dwindled to nothing more than a arrow on google maps. 30/70 chance lately of even finding the phone and does not track and update map ever (even though is "says" it is tracking for 5 minutes). I have owned this for years and instead of getting better, it gets worse with every iteration. Don't waste money here. I am searching for a better product so I can remove this from our phones. Yes I unfortunately own 4 copies.

Absolutely refuses to track one of our phones. No live tracking whatsoever. No locations listed that are newer than two weeks. Useless. Cancelling subscription.

Jimmy Jam

This was a good app until the last two updates. Sadly, It's now worthless, don't waste your time.

Robin Wenz

Won't accept password no matter what. Useless

Difficult to use and understand.

Excellent tool to locate phone with live tracking. Locking and wiping data from the phone and sim card options are a bonus. Free as well! For a small monthly fee you can get all sorts of features that might be handy - 'fencing' on your child's phone for example. It locates much faster than your phone suppliers tool.

It's a good program but does need a bit more accuracy. I did notice that it showed the last place it was, as where it was now, while it was tracking which can confuse you as to where the phone really is.... but overall, it's a good app, great price but which the tracking was a bit more thought out and wasn't misleading while tracking. Also breadcrumbs is a good feature but when you click back more it doesn't show intermittent periods of time and shows all and is a bit confusing...

New layout to track is terrible The new layout where u locate my droid phone is not user friendly. It doesnt constantly show you the app is locating device or tracking device Please only wish your guys change the layout to the old one was much better. Or make the app show constantsly its tracking device would give 5 stars if this can be resolved.

Definitely not free. These slight-of-hand sneaky pay deals really annoy me, enough to rate this one star. Free if you pay monthly! If it's a good app I have no problem paying once, not for the rest of my life.

Have never had any trouble with this. Has been very accurate on all phones I have owned since Froyo (2.2).I work with and modify OS on android phones and tablets as well. For those having trouble uninstalling, you have go into settings -> security -> Device Administrators and uncheck it. Only then can you uninstall it. Also, if you keep it, log in to your account on the web and then tell Seekdoid to hide the app. That way, no one knows you have it unless they look in the Apps list under settings. Keep up the great work Seekdroid!

It's a good program, but needs more accuracy and more features. Don't bother with the paid version, I'm cancelling my subscription. The automatic email if the phone goes outside a "fence" doesn't work, and the "support" is non-existent - I got an auto reply email telling me to look in the FAQ/KB, which I already did. No recent updates, appears this is an orphan app with no support and people just hoping to collect money.

Awesome app! Left my phone in a public part of the mall. Realized it an hour after the mall had closed. Tracked the phone, found it was in the Mall Security office, so I didn't have to worry about someone having taken it home. Went the next morning to Mall Security and retrieved my phone. Gave me a good night's sleep knowing my phone was locked up and secured even though I had lost it.

Uninstall Installed this but did not get results I wanted. Then tried to uninstall the app and it won't go away. Even Tried restarting my phone. Nothing. Do not recommend. Finally had to go through 5 different steps to deactive and now its gone. Painful.

Didn't work I installed this and set up everything properly and tested its locating abilities. I clicked locate from the website and it said, "tracking initiated" for about 5 minutes and ended with"finished locating" and it failed to locate my phone sitting right next to me. This is a useless program and with all the other difficulties I've read about it, I would never recommend anyone installing it.

WARNING. MAJOR ISSUE WITH ENCRYPTED PHONES. I previously installed SeekDroid on my phone and it worked fine. I subsequently encrypted the phone and then tested to see how the lock and unlock function in SeekDroid worked in combination with the phone's encryption. When I attempted to unlock the phone with SeekDroid, it did not work and the phone no longer recognized my encryption password either. I'm in the process of trying to regain access to the phone with the tech support of my carrier. I have a MotoX phone. Update: I was never able to regain access to the phone and I had to replace it.

Simple message pop up with 2 gramtical errors When I entered a password of 8 characters it replied with a message containing 2 errors. It spelled the word please as plase and said my password must be at least 4 characters when I just entered 8 characters. This makes me wonder how many other bugs the program may have. Sorry for the poor review. To remove this app go to settings&gt;administrators&gt;uncheck seekdroid then you will be able to delete the app.

Does what it says I can locate/alarm/wipe my phone through the web or via SMS. Don't really need much more than that. **And to all the people complaining about uninstalling it...its a security app! You're not supposed to be able to just remove it in two easy clicks, otherwise the apps would be completely useless in the first place. Come on lol

Great app Going on holiday, just tried this app at home and everything works fine from sms message to locating from computer. I think those that say they couldn't get back in because of incorrect password are confusing their username password with their sms pin (cause I did it myself until I realised) So yeah, hopefully it works in other country but for now I recommend this app.

Thank you for a good nights sleep! Would have spent the whole night worrying if this great little app hadn't reassured me that my phone was somewhere around my home. Next day I found it in the car under a seat. Worked great for me!

Why cant you delete this app!!! Iv deactivated & tryed uninstalling several times. Its the dam app that wont go away. Do I need to factory reset or what? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Dnt dwn load this app!!!

I use this to find my phone, and to track when my son has gone to the park on his own. I can watch his whereabouts with instant or 15 minute breadcrumbs. If you don't like it, you have to go into your security settings under administrators and uncheckmark the admin access for this software. Then it can easily be uninstalled. It mentions this on the install, but people seem to miss it.

Those finding trouble uninstalling need only go to the website and RTFM it's not hard. I had to do a total wipe on my phone for other reasons, and the uninstall and reinstall of Seekdroid required worked perfectly, - just follow the instructions. This app works - it's simple it does everything needed, and hard for the crooks to disable, and that's the free version! It's saved my sanity on a few occasions now. Reccomended

I don't pay for it monthly but man oh man the remote wipe and the locate feature are awesome features to have. Thankfully I've never had to use them when in need but I know what that feeling is like. Highly recommend.

Hate it ;Do not get this app' you will not be able to Uninstall it Could not delete app I absolutely hate it and do not recommend this product to anyone if anyone knows how to get this app deactivated please post It

Works well for me. Though it sometimes won't update the location for at least week unless manually made to update. For those complaining about the app being hidden; this is by design in case your phone is stolen, the app won't be deleted and you still might find the phone. You can also disable that option. Not a big deal really and for many, it's a desired feature.

I have had this app for a few years now. I pay to have it on three different devices in my home which is like $4 bucks a month. It's helped me get my phone back when it was stolen and it helps me keep an eye on where my child is. It's supposed to be hard to uninstall because if it gets stolen you want the thieves not to be able to uninstall it. It notifies you if they change the sim card...you can lock it, wipe it, have your phone emit an alarm, display a message, and it is very accurate in telling you where the phone is. It's basically like Lojack for your phone.

As long as I keep charge in my phone, I know I'll never lose it. I've tracked it down to car hire offices, gaps between cushions on sofas and sometimes when I'm just too lazy to search properly. Practically perfect in every way.

Samsung S7 Used to be a fantastic app but appears to be abandoned. No updates since July 2014?? I have used it for 5 or 6 years. No longer works well for me. With that said, it was a great app and would buy it again if it would reappear as a new and improved version under a somewhat new name. (hint, hint) Seek Droid was horribly under rated.

Basically lies I liked it at first thought it was pretty cool until later I realized when trying to use it that it still said it was at this restaurant, next day I checked again had the phone right next to me said the same darn thing. Kind of total bull!!

I love this app. It has helped me find my phone on more than one occasion and I'm very grateful for it. It's easy to use, clear and clean and I like the additional features, in addition to the locator. The greater the detail on the the GPS locator map, the better though. If there's one suggestion I would make it would be to hone the GPS locator so you can get the greatest amount of detail as to the exact location of the phone. But all in all I am very pleased with this app
